(Channel) Internal auditing massively reduces technology overhead and costs on several different levels.
- Auditing discovers weaknesses in your infrastructure that can be costly to fix, if left undiscovered
- Auditing reduces the time, effort, and resources required to maintain your IT production environment
- Auditing discovers surpluses of software licensing
- Auditing reduces liability, from 3rd party auditors like the Business Software Alliance and SIIA.
- Auditing dramatically increases the effective response time to license inquires
- Auditing reduces the expense associated with the defense of federal lawsuits, in the even your organization is found to be using software with our proper license documentation
Software license compliance is vital to the security and prosperity of your business. Software copyright, piracy and compliance are strictly governed by federal law. And that law dramatically favors the best interests of software companies, almost entirely.

(Channel) Big-Software companies have the power and legal backing to use federal copyright law to destroy other companies, that use their products without proper licensing.
The financial and operational consequences of not auditing and maintaining your company's software licensing can be catastrophic. It can literally destroy your business.

(Channel) Schools, colleges, and institutions are extremely vulnerable to software license audits and lawsuits because they have elements working against them, that most organizations don't have to manage.
It simply takes one disgruntled student or faculty member to make a call to the Business Software Alliance, the SIIA or in-house legal department with a big software company to spark an adversarial software license audit.
The claims do not need to be valid or based in reality for an auditing group to inquire about your license status. In fact, many accusations filed by students and faculty are done out of spite, and reported anonymously.
Most disgruntled students and staff would make a report out of spite. To encourage such reporting, the Business Software Alliance (www.bsa.org) offers a $1,000,000 reward to disgruntled/terminated persons who make claims.
The only way to know that you are compliant, is to conduct certified, internal audits on a regular basis.

(Channel) Proactive internal software auditing is critical to protecting your organization's exposure to liability and litigation. The financial and operational consequences of not auditing and maintaining your company's software licensing can be catastrophic. It can literally destroy your company or organization.
Relying on the "assumption" that you are compliant, will get you sued. Without conducting regular, certified internal audits, your company is likely non-compliant, and facing thousands, if not millions of dollars in liability.
The Business Software Alliance (www.bsa.org) offers a $1,000,000 reward to disgruntled/terminated employees who report ex-employers.
Erroneous "assumptions" that organizations commonly make, are as follows:
"Spreadsheets with license keys are considered licenses." Wrong. "Assuming that your organization is compliant because you have never knowingly pirated software." Wrong. "Assuming that a SAM application will keep you compliant.” Wrong. “Assuming that employees are properly filing paperwork and licenses.” Wrong.
In short, if your organization cannot effectively respond to an adversarial third-party inquiry within 48 hours; which includes precise inventories, an effective response letter, detailed software load locations, user access tables and cross-referenced licensing documents... you are probably NOT compliant.
The only way to know that you are compliant, is to conduct certified, internal audits on a regular basis.

(Channel) Accidental piracy is the erroneous concept that not knowing about piracy in your organization is a defense when audited by the Business Software Alliance, or some other adversarial third-party.
In virtually all software piracy actions, any possibility of an “innocent infringement” defense and the notion of “accidental piracy” are completely undermined with both the posted copyright notices on the software and “key codes” required to install the software.
